Overview
The incidence of Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is approximately 10 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. The prevalence of EoE is approximately 50-100 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. Patients of all age groups may develop EoE. It usually affects individuals of the white race. Males are more commonly affected by EoE than females. EoE is a rare disease that tends to affect people with a history of European ancestry.
